4. What do you value most about ACRL? As I move toward expanding my professional realm, ACRL has been integral in providing conferences, online courses, and many other venues that have exposed me to new people and networks for success.

5. What do you value about academic or research librarianship? I value working with diverse groups and supporting learning by teaching information retrieval skills to students.

6. In your own words: I am really looking forward to the changes in the field. I think the digital age will make libraries more responsive to users.
